El Yaque windsurf kitesurf spotHotel Casa Perla stands tall just above El Yaque’s central beach. From the spectacular terrace, you will enjoy a tremendous view of the bustling kitesurf and windsurf activity that distinguishes this small fishing village from all but four other villages in the world…. El Yaque ranks in the top five of all windsurf and kitesurf spots in the world so it is a perfect place to practice these watersports even more with the best champions and teachers in the world! When you arrive in Isla Margarita after a long international flight, you will truly appreciate the fact that Casa Perla is just ten minutes from the national and international airport Santiago Marino (PMV). El Yaque, bordered by lagoons, ocean and desert, enjoys the benefits of natural surroundings. But the healthy, tranquil atmosphere is not the only reason to visit this village. Visitors often delight in the friendly nature of our inhabitants, and fondly laugh at the rapidity with which they get to know the goings-on in our town. The multicultural, multilingual population of El Yaque will captivate you with their warmth, diversity and eccentricity, and if you just prefer to watch the surfing, you will still be enchanted by the warm, shallow waters of our beach, and the national park that begins just 50 meters to the east of our pension. Natives recognize El Yaque Beach as the best children's beach on Isla Margarita…the calm, warm, shallow waters extend fifty meters out, and there are no strong currents to fear. You can kayak or rent bicycles, do yoga or run, learn English or Spanish, learn Latino dance, travel to nearby islands to sail or snorkel or just relax with an excellent massage or a cool tropical fruit drink…all here in this tiny town of very interesting people! In El Yaque, the sun shines almost every day, and the constant wind draws windsurfers and kitesurfers from all over the world. The town is full of sportsmen…people are in good shape here, and they're relaxed…relaxation is the greatest gift that we absorb from the natural surroundings and the island culture.
